Fifty-five years ago today in show biz history (29 August 1969): fabulous bouffant-maned, white-lipsticked pop goddess Nancy Sinatra made her Las Vegas performing debut! The Nancy Sinatra Show - her 3-week residency at The International Hotel - included special guest stars The Osmond Brothers, The Blossoms and Mac Davis. I seem to recall reading in one of Sinatra’s album liner notes that her opening number was “Light My Fire” by The Doors, which she sang while gowned by Donnfeld and dramatically descending a spectacular staircase. Ah, for a time machine!

The man police say committed suicide before detonating explosives outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday was deemed not to be a threat to himself or the public after he sought mental health treatment, CNN reported Saturday night.

Investigators in Vegas say Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty Greene Beret, injured seven people in the blast which caused minimal damage to the building but injured seven bystanders. The rented Tesla Cybertruck Livelsberger was driving also sustained significant damage.

Ryan Grenoble at HuffPost:

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating after a vehicle caught fire Wednesday morning at the entryway to the Trump International Hotel. Video shared by spectators on social media appeared to show a Tesla Cybertruck engulfed in flames just outside the hotel lobby. A spokesperson for the Clark County Fire Department told HuffPost the agency received a call at 8:40 a.m. Wednesday about a vehicle fire in the valet area outside the Trump Hotel at 2000 Fashion Show Drive but was unable to elaborate further. Police said the fire was extinguished less than two hours later and asked people to avoid the area. An unnamed official told ABC News the vehicle was carrying a load of “fireworks-style” mortar shells that seem to have exploded, killing the driver and causing minor injuries to seven bystanders. Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill acknowledged the unique circumstances of the incident at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

The Tesla Cybertruck catching fire outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas is a very appropriate metaphor for this country’s current state.

Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump Las Vegas hotel

A Tesla Cybertruck exploded near the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, killing the driver and injuring seven other people.

The incident comes just hours after a man drove a truck into a crowd celebrating New Year’s Day in New Orleans, killing 15 people.

The FBI Special Agent in Charge Jeremy Schwartz later told reporters that it was still unclear whether the explosion was an act of terrorism.

I know everybody’s interested in that word, and trying to see if we can say, ‘Hey, this is a terrorist attack.’ That is our goal, and that’s what we’re trying to do.

Meanwhile, Tesla owner Elon Musk said the explosion was not related to the Cybertruck itself, citing telemetry. Telemetry involves automatically collecting data from remote sources and transmitting it to a central source for further analysis.

We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.

The Cybertruck and the vehicle used in the New Orleans attack, were both rented through Turo car-sharing service. A Turo spokesperson said the company did not believe that any of the vehicle renters involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks had criminal records.

We are actively partnering with law enforcement authorities as they investigate both incidents.

The Cybertruck pulled up to Trump’s building at 8:40 a.m. local time (16:40 GMT). Las Vegas firefighters responded four minutes after the vehicle was reported on fire and extinguished it. The two victims were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.

International Bath Day

Take some time to truly relax and unwind from the stress of daily life. Try some bath bubbles, a bath bomb, or some essential oils to up the experience.

If you think of the ultimate in relaxing experiences that come pretty much free of charge, then one of the first things that come to mind is a long, hot soak in the bath. Well, if you needed a reason to draw up the most amazing and luxurious bath, then International Bath Day is quite possibly it.

While it may sound like utter madness, it is, in fact, an incredibly popular day and an excuse for every man, woman, and child to enjoy the most relaxing and indulgent of soaks.

We should probably also start by saying that International Bath Day isn’t the only day of the year you should choose to have a bath, let’s face it if this were the case public transport would be way more disturbing on summer days.

In fact, days like this are probably not about bathing at all; International Bath Day is a way of celebrating our humanity, it’s about recognizing who we are and how far we have truly come. While for some, a bath is just a way to clean some difficult to reach areas; for others, it’s an escape.

There are people out there that work 14 hour days and just need to unwind away from the world, and at the opposite end of the spectrum, there are people who find inspiration while enjoying the quiet and occasional fizz of bubbles.

In truth, days like International Bath Day are to you what you make of them; you should look to do something that makes you feel happiest to be alive, something that is just for you and nobody else.

History of International Bath Day

Legend has it that on June 14th, Greek mathematician, scientist, and scholar, Archimedes, discovered while taking a bath that an object’s volume could be accurately measured by being submerged in water! Unable to contain his excitement over this discovery, Archimedes leaped out of the bathtub and yelled, “Eureka, Eureka!” as he ran through the streets of Syracuse, Greece. Since the exact date of Archimedes’ birth was unknown, the day chosen to commemorate is the day that is believed he kept out of the bathtub….June 14th.

How was this date determined? The ancient Greek legend says that it was exactly one week before the beginning of summer…the calendar in those days was astronomical, and seasons were determined due to the 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth’s rotational axis in relation to its orbit around the sun. Summer began (then and today) on June 21st, so a week before is June 14th, and this was the date set.

We would like to recognize this day because we believe that bath time is the IDEAL time for learning and discovery for children. Bath toys can teach children the basic properties of physics such as empty/full, float/sink, heavy/light, and cause and effect all while having FUN in the tub!

As we know, the world has evolved constantly, and this is also just as true for the way we bathe. While this may sound insane, it really isn’t. When it comes to bathing, if we look back only 100 years, the whole concept of bathing in some countries was not a relaxing one at all; in fact, it was downright uncomfortable.

In the 19th century England, a bath in many cases was a large cold metal container placed in front of a fireplace, and in some countries, this is still the case believe it or not.

Now when we look at bath time, it’s something to look forward to, drawing a nice bubble bath doesn’t end with the simple things. There are now bathtubs with jets for a hot tub like experience, and the 21st century has really seen a rise in the sales of essential oils for those looking for a little something extra from their bath.

Taking all of this into account, it seems that over the next 20 years, things are going to advance even more, and with the creation of temperature regulation devices for bathtubs, you will never be pained with a cold bath ever again.

So, no matter what your ideal bath maybe, you should remember that the evolution of the bathtub has come a long way, so you should embrace the power of the bath and really treat yourself this International Bath Day.

How to celebrate International Bath Day

Ok, so when it comes to celebrating International Bath Day, we are pretty sure that you get the gist of things, but, if you don’t, then some ideas will follow for somebody of every age.

If you are a fan of retro, why not find the most boring bath bomb you can get your hands on, dash in some bubbles and get that bath to the perfect temperature.

Once at a temperature that won’t cook a lobster, throw on some Barry Manilow and let your mind take you to your own personal Nirvana.

Of course, if this isn’t for you, you could just run the perfect bath for you, place in some earplugs, lock the bathroom door and have some totally undisturbed time that’s just for you.

When it comes to International Bath Day, it matters not whether you are a man or woman, whether you work or don’t work, this is the one day of the year where you should take an hour out of your schedule and escape from the world.

Sometimes we all need to spend some time alone so we can become one with the universe once more. If this isn’t the case, perhaps you’re just a single parent who would like to use the bathroom in peace just once. Whoever you are, International Bath Day is more than a celebration; it’s also an excuse.
